anyway, If this works, and I have a working robot I'll be more prompt to spend money on speed controls that can handle 24v, however your idea to run a speed control on each better then just hook them up to the motor, sounds great if i had the other 2 speed controls :-p

Thanks guys, i'll be sure to keep a eye on that auction now =)
The speed control is not a big problem. You can create a very simple custom circut that can control speed. I am trying to find the website I used to have that had a real good layout for it. Also try contacting a local university... they may have some speed controllers that rate 24VDC thay may just give you if you make them a deal to throw a little business-card size logo on your robot. If I find that circut diagram I will post it.

Good Luck with your work...
